Well it's finally come down that the wife is kicking me off (her) computer, yes the system I have been using is the wife's since about 6 months ago mine died. So I'm in a dilemma, I'm building a cheap budget system good enough for me to play a few games that will last me a year, so here is what I have come up with. Yes it is S939 but I love S939 even if it is out-dated and hell with the prices falling I can get some great deals I will be using my existing case, hard drive, dvd-rom, dvd-burner. Here is the proposed setup.

I think you may find that the 1600pros are not available. (check out the "bargains" thread).

Are you sold on crossfire? If not, you could ditch the crossfire board and pick up a nF4 board for a little less (I've always prefered Nvidia chipsets for S939 & S754).

The 1650 XT would be my choice, but if you saved some money on the mobo and ponied up an extra $50 (I know.... everybody wants to creep up the price when it isn't their money.... :) ) you could slap a 1950 pro in there that would kick A$$.

(Wish I knew somebody heading out your way.... I can pick up a 3700+ here for just over $100).
